Black sky bug after installing full step guide with enb

Hey, have you tried it vanilla but with ENB active? I had this problem and a vanilla test run revealed I had goofed up by only installing some of the ENB files into Skyrim. You need all of them for everything to work. Sincere hopes you get it working!

Double checked but everything is installed. 

This issue is related specifically to some foggy weathers. Everything else is fine!

@Greg Can you confirm this issue on your instance?

You shouldn't set EnableMultipleWeathers=false, as that breaks much of what the ENB is doing. Best to set [VOLUMETRICFOG] IgnoreWeatherSystem=false ...once I have confirmation from others that this does resolve the issue (which is related to only certain foggy weathers). @maramsp Can you confirm this fix?

Yeah I realised this after I noticed the stormy weather wasn't quite right after disabling it. I've tried dropping down to the "light" preset (cache deleted) and will be testing to see how that goes.

So i'm still getting it on the light preset. 

The Volumetric Fog IgnoreWeatherSystem only seems to fix the non weather related fogs going black when the problme weathers occur (e.g. mountain fog  on the winterhold mountains)

I've also noticed that whilst normal weathers are editable in the Shift+Enter ENB menu, the black fog ones are not. Can't upload the images directly or embed them via a URL so heres the drop box link showing the changes to mountain fog during the problem weather, and also the problem weather not being editable. A 3rd screenshot showing an editable foggy weather. My guess is it's these specific weathers aren't configured right with ENB somehow?

I'm getting 401 with those links. You need to allow 'everyone' access to those locations or use a different image hosting service like imgbox

Thanks for letting me know!

Swapped to imgbox.

Try these
IgnoreWeatherSystem off
IgnoreWeatherSystem on

@maramsp @Korrai

Thanks. Those screens helped me to confirm the bug and fix it. It was caused by certain weathers having definitions in ENB but no assigned INI. Instead of falling back to the global enbseries.ini (which is expected behavior) they simply had no effect settings. This bugs out for certain ENB settings like [SKY] and [VOLUMETRICFOG] and likely others.

The fix is posted on the Step Guide Nexus page under Update Files.

I'm still working on a larger ENB update, but this was important enough to post ahead of that ...and simple enough to fix.

PS: Weather 89C3B (shown in your first screenshot) is not part of CW and that FID actually conflicts with an existing vanilla reference FID, so you must have a mod that is adding or updating weathers besides CW. That weather will remain bugged, since it's not part of CW and thus, the Step guide. I'm wondering how this looks in your xEdit, given the conflict with the vanilla reference.

Glad the screenshots helped. 

Looking at that record in xEdit it's the same as yours, and the only hit so conflicts or overwrites. The mystery depens! I wonder if you can do fw 89C3B on yourside? 

I'll grab the patch and do some testing my end and report back

Edit: I've applied the update and I can't us FW 89C3B to force the weather from the original screenshot I shared. So it's not a weather according to Skyrim. Now I'm really confused haha

Happy to confirm no more black sky wether effects since installing the update file. Thanks @z929669
